Are you intelligent？

你夠聰明嗎？

An intelligent person's opinions arebased on facts and not beliefs.

聰明人的想法以事實而非信仰為基礎。

This has more to do with their skepticism. Unless and until they are presented with hard facts, they do not take things on face value.

這一點和他們的懷疑主義有關，除非他們見到了有力的事實依據，否則聰明人不會太當真。

學習音樂的孩子可能比同齡人更聰明。

Kids who take music lessons are morelikely to be intelligent than ones who do not.

As a report suggests, "There is growing evidence that musicians have structurally and functionally different brains compared with non-musicians. In particular, the areas of the brain usedto process music are larger or more active in musicians. Even just starting tolearn a musical instrument can change the neurophysiology of the brain. Thebrain regions involved in music processing are also required for other tasks,such as memory or language skills."

一份報告指出，越來越多的證據表明音樂家的大腦結構和功能都異于常人，特別是他們大腦中處理音樂的區域面積更大也更活躍。即便是初學一種樂器，也會改變大腦的神經生理功能，而大腦中處理音樂的部位也會在其它任務中發揮作用，如記憶或語言能力。
